New 2500K Overclocking - Page 2

Chicken Patty · Jan 16, 2012, 08:31 PM

Try the new BIOS and see how that goes. However, CPU PLL I keep at 1.8 for 4.5 GHz. Anything over that and it's not stable. You are running 1.9v or more. Look into that.

1.8 is stock for some reason

Chicken Patty · Jan 16, 2012, 08:40 PM

It is, but some people even lower it below that. I have tab mine lower than 1.8v. But I had some RAM issues and when I loaded up my saved file it had the PLL saved at 1.8v so it has just been running like that since.

i tried oc'ing it with stock pll voltage but didn't even boot

Don't wanna threadjack this thread so why don't you post your BIOS settings here in THIS thread and see if we can give you a hand?

LOL

Ignore the "3" hours in the notepad, I realize it's 2... NOW.. for some odd reason my brain computed 3 when my eyes saw 16:18 and 18:18...

It wont happen again.. unless......... it happens again..

I originally tried 1.270V @ 4.6Ghz, after 45min I received a BSOD..

Continuing to push.

Oh and I don't believe I have the option for an offset voltage.... This board doesn't have many features. I'm surprised I can OC this much on it. I have no option to increase or decrease my PLL voltage either.. But it's ok I am still impressed with these overclocks, plus I plan on buying a great X77/X79 1155 when they appear.

Oh should've also clarified that. I used to OC the traditional way by changing the multiplier and manually setting a voltage. Doing that I needed 1.35v to get 4.5GHz stable, anything less won't even boot into windows.

I do get ~0.968v on idle and my temps look great.

Yeah for overclocking I stick to Asus though Gigabyte has some nice boards with their copper layer too...

Actually my post about derailing the thread was for another member who was seeking help. I was posting from the phone and didn't quote his previous reply and it's not really derailing, it's most like threadjacking, I have edited my post already.

Man, 4.6 GHz is a hella nice clock dude.

yeh I'm a bit disappointed with my ud5 with my i7. Needed so much voltage but then again it could just be the chip.

I've had nothing but great experience overclocking with ASUS, both AMD and Intel.

I agree. ASUS is a great mobo for overclocking.

Yep for me it was ARMA II that showed me my OC was unstable, yet it would Prime all day long...Minor bump up in the V's and been fine ever since

Yep. I was able to do 3.6 MHz on a Phenom 9850 in Miami heat with a Thermaltake drive bay water cooling system. Fell in love with ASUS ever since.

My first Intel system was a i7 920 and I had the EVGA X58 board, first model that came out. Was able to do 4732 MHz on air with my 920. I wanted to stick to EVGA for Intel but got a great deal on the rig I have now and this ASUS board is just awesome.

I had that issue a while back with Crysis. As you said, slight bump in vcore did it for me.

LightningJR · Jan 17, 2012, 08:11 PM

This was just another random voltage choice. I don't expect to get much lower, if any.. But it could be possible. Looks like I reached the 72.6C temp limit stated by Intel. Some people say up to 80C is fine though. IDK.

Chicken Patty · Jan 17, 2012, 08:19 PM

I would keep it under 75*c. But great clock/voltage nonetheless.

random · Jan 17, 2012, 10:13 PM

Are you doing Blend Tests? Small-FTT tests for some reason are alot less likely to give you any crashes for some odd reason when dealing with Sandy.

For example I could do small FTT runs for 5+ hours on my previous sandybridge rig but when I used the Blend test I'd crash almost instantly under the same settings.

I'm running blend... It says it right in the notepad in the screenshots.

THE_EGG · Jan 18, 2012, 12:32 AM

Jeez take enough stabs at me for choosing a gigabyte mobo.

I do agree though, when I had an x58 chipset I had an ASUS P6T-deluxe and that was fantastic with my i7-930. The P67-UD5 was my first gigabyte board after being a loyal ASUS fanboy, but oh well lessons have been learnt

GC_PaNzerFIN · Jan 18, 2012, 12:54 AM

Got my 2500K today and it does 4.8GHz 1.325V IBT with AVX and now running custom prime. 5GHz needs over 1.4V tho, but doesn't really matter. 4.8GHz is more than enough for 24/7 clocks anyway.

Lucky bastard

. Thats the voltage I need for 4.3-4.4ghz

Looks like you have a great chip there, congrats.
